The remaining third seat will be reserved for an alumni of a YouthBuild program in Pennsylvania.

Work between meetings will be focused on raising resources and expanding the network of the Coalition as a whole. Board members should expect to contribute 2-4 hours per week to the Coalition.

Candidates for the board should represent the geographic diversity of the Coalition, with strong ties to Pennsylvania’s OY network. Additional consideration will be given to those candidates who can raise the national profile of the Coalition. New Board members to the Coalition will serve a 1 year term with the option to renew. These Board members will serve no more than 3 years total.
